195 1 year, Shimomura graduated from the Department of Pharmacy of Nagasaki Medical University (now the Department of Pharmacy of Nagasaki University). After that, I studied at Nagoya University, where I received my master's and doctor's degrees. 1960, go to Princeton University to study. 1982-200 1, a senior researcher at Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory. After retirement, he continued his research in his home in Massachusetts, USA. Distinguished professor of Nagoya University in 2009. 20 18 10 19, Shimomura Xiu died of illness.

Characters experience, major achievements, scientific research summary, honor recognition, personal life, personal evaluation, characters experience 195 1, graduated from the Department of Pharmacy of Nagasaki Medical University. 1955, when Shimomura was a graduate student in Japan, his tutor asked him to go to another laboratory to broaden his horizons, and the tutor in that laboratory introduced him to make fluorescein. 1960, Shimomura received a doctorate in organic chemistry from Nagoya University and became a postdoctoral fellow in Johnson Laboratory of Princeton University. 196 1 year, Johnson took the village to the laboratory of "Friday Harbor" in Washington State on the west coast, where jellyfish are abundant and raw materials are abundant. At 196 1, they made the main discovery, namely green fluorescent protein (GFP). 1963-1965, Shimomura returned to Nagoya University in Japan as an associate professor. 1965-1980, returned to Princeton from the village and continued to work in the Johnson laboratory. From 1980 to 200 1, Shimomura worked in the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and served as a professor at Boston University. Distinguished professor of Nagoya University in 2009. 20 18 10 19, Shimomura Xiu died of illness at the age of 90. Summary of main scientific research achievements Shimomura has done a very original job. His achievements have been used by people for many years without controversy, but most people don't know his personal contribution. Some biology magazines use GFP in every issue, and some biology magazines use GFP in every issue, but most people don't know that the discoverer is Shimomura. Up to now, the article about finding jellyfish by Shimomura Xiu and Johnson in 1962 has been cited 377 times, the article about purifying GFP in 1974 has been cited 169 times, and the article about science by Chalfie et al. in 1994 has been cited 349 times./kloc-0 It shows that most scientists don't know how the things they use come from. 1990, his collaborator Johnson died at the age of 82, and The New York Times's eulogy did not mention GFP. Pricher got the GFP gene, but he lacked funds. Chalfie's article has a high citation rate, but the patent is screwed up and there is not much profit. After receiving his doctorate from Nagoya University in Japan, he went to Shimomura to study in the United States. 198 1 to 200 1, Senior Scientist, Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole. In the press release issued on February 8, 2008, the laboratory praised him as the original discoverer of green fluorescent protein (GFP). "Green fluorescent protein is one of the most important tools in contemporary science and medicine. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a press release that green fluorescent protein "has become one of the most important tools in the field of modern biological science research". With its help, researchers can see a new world that they have never seen before, including the development of brain nerve cells and the way cancer cells spread. In honor of the Pierce Prize in 2004. Emile Chamot Award in 2005 (Illinois Microscopy Society, USA). 2006 Asahi Prize (Asahi Shimbun? Asahi shimbun cultural consortium). In 2008, Shimomura shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with martin chalfie and Qian Yongjian. Personal life When I was a child, I lived in northeastern China and Osaka, and later moved to Nagasaki Prefecture to build a city. 16 years old, experienced the nuclear bullet explosion in Nagasaki. Character evaluation In the eyes of some scholars in the same field, Shimomura is an "aloof researcher". Xiacun is indifferent to fame and fortune, and his academic style belongs to the category of "forging ahead alone" (Japanese scholar, Gong Xiedun's Historical Review) When visiting the Nobel Prize Exhibition Room of Nagoya University, Shimomura's signature picture was severe and gentle in the eyes of the younger generation. At first glance, Mr. Wang is strict, but in fact he is gentle and humorous. Once I went to visit my relatives in the village. When he left, Xiacun, who was nearly eighty years old, was sent to the station. 15 minutes later, the bus stops and watches it get on before leaving. (Comment by Xiaoxue Okaya, Professor of Hokkaido University) Mr. Shimomura has been engaged in research in the research group of Professor Ping Yi Tian of Nagoya University, and has achieved fruitful scientific research results. After that, he went to the United States to continue his research, but this spirit of persistent challenge in the face of difficult topics is worth learning. All staff and students of Nagoya University will remember Mr. Shimomura's achievements and encourage themselves to continue their research. (Comments by Ito Matsuo, President of Nagoya University)
